The food was AMAZING. But, the service was a little slow considering we were the first dinner customers. The music was a bit loud and totally not in keeping with the vibe of the restaurant.

Really good restaurant for a date or night out with friends! Nice ambiance and if you like spicy food, you will love the food. The food was amazing, we had the Malai Kofta and the Rogan Josh. They had nice cocktails, though a little on the pricey side. And dessert was offered to us by the owner himself. Will definitely come back :)

First off... there were 6 people in the restaurant and ONE staff! From the beginning we looked at drink options and the cocktails were ridiculously priced - top mixologist lounges in Tokyo and Singapore were better priced yet they have the chef/waiter pouring drinks at 26$!!! A number of menu options were not available and we were constantly offered other choices... this included no wine, most beers... yet all cocktails were available! The food is good but the prices and quality of service and the overall state of the decor is concerning. Yet another pretend restauranteur that thinks they know what goes into running a respected neighborhood restaurant.

What a fun experience for all the senses! The food was delicious with just enough spice and portions reasonable. Loved the shrimp prepared at the table and all the little touches that made the night so magical.
